Ann Romney Stays Loyal to Dressage, Plans to Breed Rafalca

Ann Romney, the wife of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, signaled she has no plan to exit the sport of dressage, which has led to charges that her husband is out of touch with ordinary Americans.

Romney said she will try breeding from Rafalca, the 15-year-old mare she co-owns, which was competing at the Olympic Games in London today. The earliest the horse could foal would be 2014 if it stopped competing this year, or later if she continues competing, as her owners intend.
